Thank you to all who responded to my inquiry regarding Citrical Calcium
Supplement. As always you listmates come through promptly. Your feedback is
truly appreciated! CJ
SUMMARY...
8 people responded that they have used Citrical Calcium Supplements for
years with no problems
(one added that blood work has been good when using Citrical)
(one added that bone density has been good when using Citrical)
(one added that calcium should be taken with enough vitamin D)
1 person responded that she felt like vomiting within 1 -2 hours of taking
Citrical
Other calcium supplements recommended were Viactive and Rainbow
(available at health food stores)
Some additional responses included the following...
Freeda Vitamins calcium citrate.. (use web) they are the
purest I have found...it comes in fine granular form, loose in a
jar ...no capsules...the only one I could find that passed the GF test.
I separately take Vit D (not too much) the same way...I open a
granulated capsule and add it to the granulated Freeda Calcium citrate
Freeda is gluten free...
I do not take Citrical, but would like to share some information about
calcium with you. The type of calcium found in the product you mentioned is
citrate and carbonate. They are nowhere near the most absorbent forms of
calcium. The best is calcium orotate. My Dr wanted me on a prescription
bone builder that I refused, due to possible side effects. I researched
calcium extensively, and started taking the orotate version along with D3 and
magnesium at night before bed. Within one year I went from full blown
osteoporosis, through osteopenia to a low normal reading. My Dr was shocked. I
now recommend it to anyone needing a calcium supplement. I use the brand
Advanced Research by Dr Hans Nieper, Calcium Orotate 1.5g. He was a
brilliant German Dr. who believed all disease was caused by and could be cured by
nutrition. I order from LuckyVitamin.com and found they have the best
price. It is a bit more expensive than the citrate or carbonate forms, but it
is the best. The pills are smaller and start to dissolve on the tongue,
which is quite different from most calcium supplements. They are gluten
free too.
